On my 32" widescreen Sony TV, using 720x576, I have:
(**) VIA(0): Display dimensions: (256, 144) mm
(**) VIA(0): DPI set to (71, 101)

(Yeah I know I'm using an old version. It seems to suffice on my CLE266.)

Anyway, Firefox works fine. I ended up using those particular numbers to 
get rid of scaling artifacts in some apps. Of course if I wanted the DPI 
to be correct, I'd use something more like DisplaySize 640 360 or 
DisplaySize 768 432, but I like having stuff blown up much bigger than 
it would be on a regular monitor, after all I'm much further away!

Cheers,

John.
